Mom's Cottage Cheese Borscht

Submitted by valandsnoopy

"One of my favourite meals growing up, especially on a cold winter day, was my mom's borscht. This one is made with garden greens, cottage cheese, and buttermilk, so it's high in protein and vitamins. Serve with warm buns, and it's a hearty meal."
